SASM 020 – How to Create Space, Kindness, and Happiness with Tammy Strobel
I could never see Tammy Strobel walk into a room, not get something she wants, and then proclaim, “Do you know who I am?!”
She's way too kind and humble for that. However…
I can definitely see myself walk to the far corners of the Internet, find people who don't know who Tammy is, and then declare, “What?! You don't know who Tammy Strobel is or what RowdyKittens is all about?”
That's exactly what I'm doing with this episode of Smart and Simple Matters.
Tammy is a lot of things to a lot of people, but she's also not a lot of things that most people are. And to me and the many people who follow her journey, that's a very good thing.
In shorter terms, her mission is all about “going small, thinking big, and being happy.” It's something that I can get behind, and so can the people who have heard about Tammy in places like USA Today, The Huffington Post, The New York Times, and The Today Show.
In our chat, Tammy and I talk about some of the themes from her book – You Can Buy Happiness (and It's Cheap) – but we also go beyond happiness.
We talk about creating space in your life. How kindness and empowerment work together to become something even more powerful. We talk about… well… we cover a lot.
Here's a glimpse of Tammy's thoughtfulness:
I didn't realize how much the “stuff” was weighing down my mental state. With a lot of stuff, you have to keep track of it [and] that takes up a lot of space in your brain. – Tammy
This was such a good conversation that even I said something useful.
It's fun to be consumed when you're consumed with the right things. – Joel
Tammy even complimented me on my curating via spreadsheets, so instantly, she gets bonus points. But don't let my light-heartedness obscure the serious – and seriously awesome – message that Tammy has for us all.
